That's great man, glad to hear it was a simple solution.

And I'm envious of you for going to UGA.  There's some absolutely incredible umm, scenery there.   [evil]

Id keep an eye on your battery and carry that tender with you. Theres no reason a battery should fall flat on its face, other than its dying, or your bike isnt charging it. just a warning before you venture to far.

I'd throw a voltmeter on the battery with the bike running about 3K

13.5-14.5 volts is what you should see.

Do this to make sure your charging system is in good working order.  It is not uncommon for a motorcycle battery to go bad, especially after sitting for an extended period of time with no charge.  Buy a Battery Tender Jr. and keep it on that whenever possible.

9 times out of ten, maybe more, when a bike won't turn over it is the battery.  Batteries can be dead even when they show 12 v using a voltmeter.  That's why I suggested trying to jump it again.  Glad the problem was simple.  Wish my problem was.    :-\
